@dunno001: I think he said his gf had some connections and hence the price, not everyone will be able to pick it up at that price.
So yeah.. I voted buy and ebay. Of course it can be played some before that, if one or two games really interest you.
My own experience with having all three systems (and I got my 360 last too, dead cheap too), is that I simply don't have the time for all of them now. Too many games coming out everywhere.
But don't let wi-fi and live disturb you, if you decide to get (and keep) the 360. Cable works too and since you can get the free online for multiplats on PSN, a Live subscribtion really only seems reasonable if you have a lot of friends with Live and no PSN.
